(a) Two component systems. A blend of water/wax emulsion and an alkali-soluable resin or shellac. they may or may not dry with a glossy appearance. An increased gloss can be obtained by buffing. (b) Three component systems. A blend of a water/wax emulsion and an alkali-soluable resin or shellac and a synthetic polymer resin emulsion. Examples of polymer resins commonly used in the polish industry are polystyrene and acrylates. The water/wax emulsion, alkali- soluable resin and synthetic polymer resin emulsion can be blended in almost any proportions to give emulsion waxes with a variety of properties
